Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy walls are continually before me. Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee. Jerusalem, the very Jerusalem that is in Palestine, shall be rebuilt. God will remember her walls, and the Church of God in Israel shall yet rise from that sad low estate in which it has been these many...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy walls are continually before me. Thy children shall make haste, thy destroyer and they that make thee waste shall go forth of thee. Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all that gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; How appropriately Christ can say this when he looks on the nail-prints, “I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands”! As I said, this morning, Jesus can give nothing, he can take nothing, he can do nothing, he can hold nothing, without remembering his people: “I have graven thee upon the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy walls are continually before me. Thy children shall make haste; There shall be many of them. Converts shall be added to the church in great numbers. They shall hurry up; they shall not be long in coming. Very often they delay too long. The promise is, “Thy children shall make haste.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy destroyers and they that make thee waste shall go forth of thee. I wish this were carried out. If it were, many of the churches of Christ, which are plagued with false doctrines and worldly habits, which are laying them waste, would be delivered from those curses. The enemies outside the walls, however malicious they are, will never be so...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. What are all converted Gentiles doing, after all, but coming to the one Church? It is no longer a matter of Jew or Gentile, but all who believe are one in Christ Jesus. Let poor Zion rejoice that she herself is enriched by the conversion of these...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold; all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. There is a great company coming. The church is going to be increased. Have faith in God. We are not going to receive them now by ones and twos; we thank God we receive them by tens and scores. They are coming by hundreds and by thousands; let us...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, — The children of thy childlessness, — so it runs, — the children of thy widowhood. It was strange...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell. Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been? Thus saith the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thus saith the LORD GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people; and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. We do not mind how they are brought if they do but come; some in the arms, and some after the Oriental method of putting the child on...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt know that I am the LORD. “Jehovah.” “Thou shalt understand the greatness of thy God, his infiniteness, his majesty, his all-sufficiency. ‘Thou shalt know that I am the I AM.’” Isa_49:23. For they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. Glory be to his holy name, none that wait for him shall ever have cause to be ashamed; may we all...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: It will take a long time before they learn that art, for kings and queens have generally been destroyers of the Church of Christ. Those will be grand days when kings shall be the nourishers of the Church, and queens her nursing mothers. Isa_49:23. They shall bow down to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh;...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thus saith the LORD, There is always something weighty coming when you have this preface. If God speaks, we ought to hear with reverence, with attention. Isa_50:1. Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? God is here addressing his ancient people; they had been...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? There were some who said God had put away, like a divorced woman, his ancient people, that he had sold his children into slavery; but he says, “It is not so. Where is the bill of divorcement? To whom...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? Sometimes, the headings to the chapters in our Bible give us the meaning of the passage. They are, of course, not inspired, and are merely put there by the translators but, sometimes, they are little comments upon the text. It is so in the heading of this...
